Ford Parts |
My opinion is that Ford make a reasonable job of parts support.
I
have always had helpful advice from my local dealers and availability seems fine.
Prices are
around normal for the industry but seem expensive for what you get.
But there is a massive
structure to feed and they are in business to make money.
I hope I can help you get the best
from the system. |

On Line Parts |
If you like shopping on line, quick click and go, then a limited
range of parts can be found at 
They provide a good level of service
and fast delivery, but at the same price you would get from you local Ford Dealer |
| |
Discount Parts |
FordPartsUK do sell parts at discount prices, cheaper than their on
line prices.
This is useful for planned work or if you can wait a few days for the postal
service.
Fill in the Discount Parts Request Form
make sure you say in the comments box that you are looking for discount parts cheaper than your
local dealer.
and within a day you will get an emailed quote. Accepting the quote is easy and
the parts will be dispatched promptly I have used their service once, and very pleased with to way
things went. |

Sump Plug O Ring |
What a rip off !!!
Ford expect us to buy a Sump Plug, complete
for around £5 when only the O Ring needs replacing if damaged !!!
The solution is to get
one from a local merchant. It needs to be 22mm outside diameter, 16mm internal diameter and 3mm
profile. The bolt is 14mm thread.
I can supply one to you for 30p each + 95p P+P and my time,
that equals
£1.25 First Class post or £1.10 Second Class Post.
But please
contact me to check I am around before relying on me.
You can send the money by PayPal to
account derek@tourneo.com

Alternator Repairs |
Yet another rip off !!!
The scenario is that the battery light
starts to flicker, gradually it gets worse, then the battery is not getting charged. The alternator
is not working correctly.
Ford expect us to buy a replacement alternator when all that is needed
is a brush kit.
But getting hold of one from Ford is difficult.
Solution. Find a local
alternator reconditioning company. They should charge you around £60 to fit the kit or sell
it to you for around £12.
I will try to find where to buy one from soon. |
